Between June 25 and 26, 1876, a combined force of Lakota and Northern Cheyenne led the United States 7th Cavalry in a battle close to the Little Bighorn River with what was then the eastern edge of the Montana Territory. The engagement is known by a few names: the Battle of Greasy Grass, the Battle of Little Big Horn, and Custer's Last Stand. Perhaps the most famous action in the Indian Wars, it was an extraordinary victory for Sitting Bull and his awesome forces. They defeated a column of seven-hundred men led by George Armstrong Custer; five with the Seventh's companies were annihilated and Custer himself was killed within the engagement as well as 2 of his brothers and a brother-in-law. Known as the battle that left no white survivors, Little Big Horn has inspired a lot more than 1,000 works of art, including over 40 films. Here are four with the best... Karwa chauth is a very special occasion in the life of every Indian married woman. Wedding bond in itself is the starting to a new life, which changes the whole definition of the life of bride and groom. Marriage gives new meanings to life of the bride and groom and gives them a reason to cherish every moment with their loved one. Fasting whole day, without water and food is not at all easy, but Indian women do this for the long and happy life of their husbands. This is a tradition, which has been followed by the Indian women from ages and every year they fast for the prosperity of their husbands. Though, this may seem very vague, but Indians have very firm belief in this practise and they do this with full dedication. A salute should be given to the Indian women, who celebrate this festival with such conviction and do not even drink a sip of water for the whole day. This picture amazingly captures the think layer of clouds on the valley near the south of Lake Como, northern Italy. In the above image, the dense cloud hides almost the valley and leaves some artificial lights which make the town as an opaque blanket. The village over distance is clearly seen from the blanket. If you think that avoiding drinking during the workweek but spending per night from the party at weekend drinking so much is no matter, your idea isn't true. You can consume over 1,000 calories from drinking (wine, beer, soda, etc) and eating (chicken wings, pizzas, peanuts, etc). It means you may get extra unexpected pounds.
